Deutsche Bank downgraded Associated Banc-Corp (NASDAQ: ASBC) from Buy to Hold with a price target of $14.00.

The firm comments, "We continue to believe ASBC is well positioned as a defensive play amongst the mid-cap banks given (1) expected NIM stability near-term, (2) continued loan growth above the industry, (3) efficiency initiatives and declining BSA costs, and (4) a solid capital deployment outlook. Further we expect an EPS beat in 4Q12 on lower expenses and provision, with stronger fee income."
